Franklin Cudjoe on the first group of ministerial nominees is a smart choice.

The president and creator of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has called President John Dramani Mahama's ministry nominations a shrewd move. This comes after the initial list of three ministry nominations announced by the President on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, the recently appointed Minister-designate for the Ministry of Finance, was commended by Mr. Cudjoe during his appearance on the Joy FM Super Morning Show on Friday, January 10. He mentioned his extensive knowledge in the field and recalled his prior interactions with Dr. Forson.
Mr. Cudjoe went on to say that Ato Forson should have complete assistance in doing his duties at the ministry because of his background in the banking industry.
Knowing Ato and what he understands about the ministry, I was merely stating during this call that I believe he needs that support.
Yes, we ought to be able to provide him with that assistance," he said. Mr. Cudjoe also thought that President Mahama made a very good and astute choice in appointing the first group of ministers from a variety of sectors.
“So it’s a clever appointment really. I think that when Jinapor gets up and speaks in Parliament, sometimes he exudes financial and economic charm that I ask myself how this guy came to learn this stuff so easily and have the humility to express himself so well, and then get things going,” he explained.
He added, “These two men [Ato Forson and Abu Jinapor] actually understand the policies of finance and energy as well, and I think it is an excellent appointment.”
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice-designate, Dr. Dominic Ayine, was also praised by Mr. Cudjoe for his professionalism and lack of unethical behavior.
"I believe he has the temperament, experience, and talent to avoid these rough waters and likely turn into a local champion who sets up courts, matches, and other things." That man doesn't and never will do such kinds of things. He is, after all, a lawyer with the necessary training, and we naturally believe he can administer justice," he remarked.
